GRID EDGE DETAILS

DONN® DX is the most widely specified grid in Middle East. It includes a wide range of profiles and colors and is fully compatible with all USG Boral ME ceiling tiles as well as most third party brands. Precision design and quality manufacturing ensure both structural and aesthetic integrity in all ceiling designs. USG Boral ME offers the following suspension system and edge details options. Select a suspension system and match it with a corresponding panel edge details, or vice versa, to assure proper system fit and assembly.

• Determine the maximum allowable ceiling weight for the chosen Main Tee and hanger spacings from Graph.• Determine the maximum allowable ceiling weight for the chosen Cross Tee spacing from table.• The maximum allowable gross weight is the lower of the values from step 1 and 2.• Note that any heavy lighting, or other mechanical fixtures should be independently supported.• Seismic considerations for in-plane loads may take precedence in determining the required section (refer USG Boral ME Representative for details).

Notes: • Values are based on simple span tests in accordance with recognized International Standard ASTM C635. Higher values can often be attained by allowing for the effect of continuous spans, the actual increase being subject to span arrangements. Please contact USG Boral ME Interiors for guidance.• For cross-nogged configurations e.g.: where a 1200x600 mm panel runs parallel with the main tee, the spacing values should be used as for 1200x1200mm module.• Where main tees are at 1200mm centers, creating a 600x600mm configuration does not significantly increase load carrying limits.

Use of Maximum Allowable Gross Ceiling Weight Charts:

Uniform Loads - kg/lm (linear metre)Uniform loads are loads that are transferred evenly along a given tee. The maximum load is the combined load on both sides of the tee.Example:A 1200 x 600 light fitting weighing 12.6 kg applies a load of 3.5 kg/lm (1.2 + 0.6 + 1.2 + 0.6 = 3.6 lm therefore 12.6 kg / 3.6 lm = 3.5 kg/lm) A 1200 x 600 ceiling panel weighing 3.6 kg applies a load of 1 kg /lm The combined load of light and ceiling panel is 4.5 kg/lm. The maximum allowable uniform load is the lesser of either main or cross tee values

Point Loads - kgPoint loads are loads that transfer to a tee at a single point (or several points) over a very small area. The weakest point is assumed to be mid span. main tees are based on a 1200mm span.

The maximum allowable point load is the lesser of either main or cross tee values.

DONN® SUSPENSION SYSTEM SEISMIC SOLUTIONS

Categories D, E, and F Category C as per IBC

Since 1957 DONN® brand suspension systems have set the standard, using the strongest gauge steel to produce the tightest systems available with the greatest lateral and torsional stiffness. Building on this commitment to quality, USG teamed with the University at Buffalo (SUNY), the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering – Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) University of California, Berkeley to conduct full-scale seismic testing to evaluate and qualify the seismic performance of these systems. This testing proved that DONN® suspension systems provide a superior code-compliant solution to meeting International Building Code (IBC) requirements, including installations in Categories D, E and F, and Category C. USG is the only manufacturer to team with two separate earthquake engineering laboratories to qualify the performance of our systems.

When seismic requirements are a critical design issue, architects, contractors and building officials can rely onDONN® suspension systems to:• Meet or exceed all national code requirements with 22mm wall molding.• Fulfill requirements for IBC seismic design categories C, D, E, and F.• Provide evidence of compliance (and greatly exceed) ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. (ICC-ES) AC156 and AC368 requirements.• Offer an aesthetically attractive option to traditional 5mm angle molding.• Provide approved solutions certified with the maximum m2. weights accommodating complete ceilings systems.• Offer compliant systems tested and verified by two separate earthquake engineering laboratories.• Offer a seismic clip laboratory-tested to greatly exceed all structural requirements including tension, compression & tee fallout.

Seismic testing typically focuses primarily on the suspension system itself. Any ceiling panel can be installed in the test assembly regardless of how little it weighs, and components such as light fixtures and air handling equipment are usually excluded. In practical application, however, the suspension system must support and carry the weight of a fully functional ceiling system, including ceiling panels that can weigh as much as 1kg m2./sq. Therefore, USG tested suspension systems with weights commensurate with those found in real-world installations, including light fixtures and air handling equipment, using a wide variety of the ceiling panels that USG Boral ME offers. Full-scale testing performed at the University at Buffalo (SUNY) the department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering – Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) University of California, Berkeley certifies that USG Boral ME IBC-compliant assemblies are able to accommodate loads commensurate with those found in real-world installations.

The USG figures presented are based on full-scale testing and evaluation performed at the University at Buffalo (SUNY) the department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering – Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) University of California, Berkeley. Comparative data obtained from public sources includes ICC-ES Reports, product literature and Web sites.

Testing and evaluation performed at the University at Buffalo (SUNY), the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering – Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) University of California, Berkeley qualify the performance of these systems according to the AC156 – Seismic Qualification Specification, and AC368 – Acceptance Criteria for Suspended Ceiling Framing Systems. Several alternative materials, designs and methods of construction were evaluated and tested. Results of this investigation indicate that these tested alternative designs are at least the equivalent of that prescribed in the code for quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety. The data and test results presented provide technical evidence on which a code official can base approval. Construction details for these systems are shown on the following pages.

A complete range of USG ceiling systems was subjected to various levels of earthquake acceleration levels for the purpose of seismic qualification. The experimental studies were performed in the University at Buffalo (SUNY) the department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering • Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory (SEESL) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Center (EERC) University of California, Berkeley using an earthquake simulator. System performance was certified to tolerate forces in seismic Categories D, E and F that exceeded the minimum pass criterion of AC156 and AC368 by 42%.

With these certified IBC-compliant assemblies, USG Boral ME is the only manufacturer to offer:• A seismic system that exceeds the minimum pass criterion of AC156 and AC368 by more than 42%.• Seismic-system weights commensurate with typical ceiling systems.• A seismic clip laboratory-tested to greatly exceed all structural and seismic requirements including tension,compression and tee fallout.• Compliant systems tested and verified by two separate earthquake engineering laboratories.

Convenience holes located in the tee bulb may be used for any and all hanger wires. Load tests performed on 12-gauge hanger wires through convenience holes found the failure to be in excess of 180kg. This far exceeds the required 90kg. The performance of DONN® seismic systems is based on the specific combination of superior components, and design and installation methods shown. Components from other manufacturers were not evaluated, and their use or any mixed use is not recommended.
